Don't neglect your garden! by gilbertwood

Don't neglect your garden!

Today I ventured out into my backyard looking for a photo and remembered these mushrooms I had photographed a few weeks ago. Thought I'd take them today to help catch up this week - well think again! They are now just a black mush! So I have dug this original one up to cover today.
Illness progress? Well, yes beginning to feel a bit better, have now unpacked, taking less pain killers but have developed a horrible burning rash on my chest! I think I have experienced every symptom possible now :(
you poor thing. I have followed that you are unwell but have missed why? Is this the result of chemo? I do hope everything settles down soon and that you feel able to enjoy getting out rather than forcing yourself as seems to be at present. I have thee in my garden. It would be nice if they were edible but a. I don't know and therefore won't touch but b. seem a little unappetising.

After all you've been through, I can see why you weren't satisfied to photograph "mush"! It sounds as though the road to wellness is not a straight line...So sorry you've has such miserable symptoms!

This is a great shot. There's such an amazing variety of fungus and it's a great subject for a photo. It's the wrong time of year here so it's good to see yours.
So sorry you're still not feeling great. That was one nasty bug you caught. Take things easy for a while.

This is such a lovely fungus. Glad that you are feeling better.

So glad you are beginning to feel better. It was a horrible virus you picked up. Take care. Love the fungi and sorry they've turned to mush!
June 24th, 2015  
Hope you are better soon. Wonderful capture.
June 24th, 2015  
They make a great shot! Hope you will soon be really really better.

I have gone through your previous photos, some of which I have missed. That must have been one terrible virus you caught. Sorry for that and that you had to return home abruptly. Hope you are well very soon. This is a pretty shot.

They don,t call them MUSH-rooms for nothing Denise.Nice shot.
June 24th, 2015  
Fab fungi, sorry you're not well.
June 24th, 2015  
You do have to be quick to get them at their best. Hopefully you are over the worst of your illness.

I'm so sorry the troubles continue because of the illness. I'm sure you're thinking "enough with it already". There were just a whole lot of mushrooms growing here. They definitely don't last long. The little group of 'roons in my Danbo picture the other day were completely black and shriveled the next morning so it's a good thing I didn't put off taking the picture.

glad you're sort of better. Mushrooms are sort of like birds and other wildlife. You have to photograph them when you see them. You do seem to have a bit longer of a window than with a bird, who really won't sit still for camera.

@callymazoo Thanks for your concern Cally. I'm fortunate this "bug" is a true virus and not the result of chemo. It has dealt my sister and I some challenging issues and from this I admire people's strengths that go through chemo etc as it must be so deliberating.
@sangwann Thanks Dione. One week down with this horrible virus - hopefully only one more week left :)
@peterlgrave Clever one :)

Interesting layers to the mushrooms. I wish you were all well.
June 24th, 2015  
We are seeing a lot of these with all the rain we are getting. Those spores must be everywhere!
June 24th, 2015  
Beautiful shot, they look gorgeous.
Goodness me, you have really been steam-rollered by this virus haven't you.
June 24th, 2015  
Great image with all the layers! Hope you recover your health soon!
June 24th, 2015  
A super find and capture. Hope you feel better soon

Great image. I hope you're over the worst of your illness.
June 24th, 2015  
Sorry, I've got to do my old joke. There doesn't look Much-Room in your picture. Lovely capture giving me the opportunity.
June 24th, 2015  
Forgot to add, Hope you feel much better soon, there is nothing worse than feeling constantly ill. You're in my thoughts.
June 24th, 2015  
Yup, they appear quickly! Nice capture and POV, Denise!
June 24th, 2015  
Fabulous capture,
June 24th, 2015  
Sorry about your illness or bug. I had a bad one last winter here. So kind of know what you are going through. Bad but not as bad as chemo can be.
June 24th, 2015  
Great find and capture. I am glad that you begin to feel better.
June 24th, 2015  
High rise flats for the little people 😊
June 24th, 2015  
A great shot of this beautiful fungus. We have to wait till Autumn to have them . Glad you feels better by now. Hope for a soon complete recovery
June 24th, 2015  
That's impressive! Sorry to hear you have been so poorly, hope you go from strength to strength now!
June 24th, 2015  
So sorry to hear about your illness, Denise. Hope you continue to feel better.
June 24th, 2015  
Hope you will be better soon. Great fungi capture.
June 25th, 2015  
Wow... that's huge! I hope you feel better soon!
June 25th, 2015  
Hope you feel better soon! This is a wonderful capture!
June 25th, 2015  
Lovely collection of fungi
June 25th, 2015  
Awesome shrooms!! Good lesson too.
June 25th, 2015  
@peterlgrave Ha ha Good one Peter.
A couple of Champers should fix it all Denise - but then again I suspect you have already tried that.
June 25th, 2015  
@terryliv I know you'll find this hard to believe but not a drop of champers or any other alcohol has passed lips for nearly 2 weeks now! Look out for when I'm drug-free and can drink :)
